VeeamZIP view auto-delete info

[nd39475]

If i've done a VeeamZIP and set an auto-delete, but forgot for how long, can i find this info?
As well as if I did not set auto-delete, can i find this as well?

Hi nd39475,

Should be on the Backup Properties section. Right-click the VeeamZip backup from the Backups node, and you should see the Retention column

necro bumping, but for Powershell.

Via powershell, i'm able to list VeeamZips ("Restore Point"), but i cannot find retention value or dates. I've checked the RPs' .info and .commonInfo.

Does anyone know how to find the retention value/date via powershell?

Hi nd39475,

Regrettably no supported means for this at this time, but you can use the following unsupported method.

IMPORTANT: You must only use this for reporting purposes. Do not attempt any other operation (e.g., backup, restore, managing jobs) with these methods

Code: Select all

$backup = [Veeam.backup.Core.CBackup]::GetAll() | Where-Object {$_.JobTargetType -eq "VeeamZip"} 
[Veeam.Backup.DBManager.CDBManager]::Instance.VeeamZipRetention.FindByBackupId($backup.id)

This assumes $backup only has the desired VeeamZip backup you want to check retention for, so please adjust your script logic as necessary if you have a lot of VeeamZip backups to check.

Thank you! i cannot confirm because although i successfully "moved" my zips (yesterday), somehow in my processing (today) they disappeared and i had to "import" them again, so now my retentions are missing
